Reflecting on the H&D activities of 2017 this publication addresses the learnings and questions raised during the investigation of processes of going on and off the grid. Taking this publication as an opportunity to reach out to the community of hackers and designers, H&D aims to push forward self-initiation and hands-on and self-directed approaches to research – and to open up insights and discussions with other individuals and collectives.

Media Designer Joana Chicau contributed to the publication and will present a performance during the launch.
